The Tripartite Struggle for Kannauj is a crucial point in Indian history. Briefly, big chunks of North-West India (Pratiharas), East India (Palas) and South India (Rashtrakutas) were at war for 200 years ! The Pratiharas were ultimately victorious, but it was probably a phyrric victory. After this event we don't see large empires in India for a long time.
IMHO this has parallels with the final Byzantine–Sasanian war between the Eastern Roman empire and Persia. Devastating results. Then the Rashidun Caliphate comes up and gobbles up Persia and some Byzantine territories.
The Tripartite Struggle feels overlooked and not researched enough. Let's use this thread to gather resources on this topic
